[GUIDE] New Super Mario Bros (NTSC). with D2Pro

As per a request, here is a very explicit step by step for getting nsmb (ntsc) running with a d2pro on 4.1u. Unfortunately it still depends on NeoGamma and is not a direct disc channel patch...somewhat defeats the purpose of the hardmod... anywayyy:

Guide for d2pro users on 4.1u:

Required: blank DVD-R, SD Card, Card Reader, Internet Connected Wii
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Turn Off WiiConnect24 and unplug any GC controllers or memory cards*
*Burn your unpatched NSMB backup image to a DVD-R @ 4x or desired speed*
*Insert it into your wii. Allow it to update your system if it asks you to update. Don't worry, it will not update you to 4.2u* (Can someone confirm this? It only updated me to 4.1, but I'd like to be certain)

4) Once you reach the menu that gives you options of installing "Homebrew Channel, BootMii, or DVDx, highlight HomeBrew Channel, and press A.

5) After installing and letting HBC start, it will prompt you to update. Proceed with the update. After it finishes downloading the update files you will be prompted with the same installation menu with HBC, BootMii, and DVDx. Once again install HBC and let it load to the HBC menu. You may now exit to the home screen and eject your sd card.

------

6) Back on your computer, delete the boot.elf file from the root and create 2 folders in the root of your sd: name one "apps", the other "wad"

7) Download NeoGamma and place the NeoGamma folder into the "apps" folder on your sd

8) Download dop-ios and place the dop-ios folder into your apps folder

9) Create a new folder in the root of your sd card called "NeoGamma" (NOTE: this folder IS separate from the NeoGamma folder you placed in the apps folder.

10) Download ios53_v5149.wad and place it into your "wad" folder

11) Download SMNE.dol, and place it into your NeoGamma (root) folder
***Thanks to nuclearda for his edited dol***

------

12) Insert your sd card into your wii and select HomeBrew Channel from the home screen. You should now be greeted with a list of homebrew on your wii, notably NeoGamma & dop-ios.

13) Select dop-ios and run it.

14) Press right on the d-pad until you reach ios53. Select it and press update, also press add signature patch. It should now proceede to update 14 NAND blocks on the wii's internal memory. If an error is returned (-1), ignore it.

15) Exit to the homebrew channel and now open NeoGamma.

16) In the NeoGamma options, highlight "alt .dol" and press right on the d-pad until it shows "SD". Then select "Save Config" and return to the main NeoGamma menu.

17) Hit "Launch DVD"

18) Enjoy your game.

Reason: removed wad-manager, reference. May be confusing to some

Well, i got it working. using this guide and i even skipped some things

i didn't:

13) Select dop-ios and run it.

14) Press right on the d-pad until you reach ios53. Select it and press update, also press add signature patch. It should now proceede to update 14 NAND blocks on the wii's internal memory. If an error is returned (-1), ignore it.

just installed HBC using above method, updated it (via internet), and ran Neogamma off SD pointing to custom .dol downloaded from above.
